The effects of dietary fructooligosaccharide on growth, intestinal short chain fatty acids level and hepatopancreatic condition of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) post-larvae

Prebiotics are one of the feed additives being studied to potentially enhance the growth of aquatic animals. The effects of dietary fructooligosaccharide (FOS) additives at 0.1%, 0.4%, 1% and 2% on the growth performance, superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid peroxidation, intestinal short chain fatty a...

description Prebiotics are one of the feed additives being studied to potentially enhance the growth of aquatic animals. The effects of dietary fructooligosaccharide (FOS) additives at 0.1%, 0.4%, 1% and 2% on the growth performance, superoxide dismutase (SOD), lipid peroxidation, intestinal short chain fatty acids (SCFA) and hepatopancreatic histopathology of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii post-larvae (initial weight ± SE of 22.8 ± 0.2 mg) were evaluated after 56 days of feeding. Each aquarium contained 80 post-larvae and each treatment was quadruplicated which yielded 320 prawns/treatment. The results showed that the specific growth rate for length and weight of the prawns was highest in the 0.4% dietary FOS treatment compared to all others. Prawns fed the 0.4% FOS diet had significantly higher (P < 0.05) intestinal acetic acid than the control or 0.1% FOS treatments as well as significantly higher propionic acid than all other treatments. The amount of butyric acid was similar among all the dietary FOS treatments (P > 0.05). Increasing dietary FOS significantly increased lipid peroxidation and decreased SOD inhibition rate (%), indicating oxidative stress to the prawns. On day 28, prawns fed 0.1 or 0.4% FOS had significantly more E-cells within their hepatopancreatic tubules compared to other treatments while after 56 days, the hepatopancreatic tubules of prawns in the 0.4% FOS treatment were more closely arranged with significantly more R- and E-cells. In some instances, prawns fed the 1 or 2% FOS diets had hypertrophied B-cells. The results demonstrate that the optimal tested FOS level to M. rosenbergii post-larvae was 0.4%, and higher levels of 1 or 2% dietary FOS induced oxidative stress and reduced their hepatopancreatic condition.
